The Rise of Contrast-enhanced Roentgenology: An Illustrated and Chronological Overview.

Abstract

Contrast opacification of the vascular system has become the mainstay of radiological examinations. This brief illustrated and chronological historical overview commences with the vascular opacification on a corpse via direct puncture of the aorta at both the thoracic and the abdominal levels and ends with the analogous exams on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) via peripheral venous puncture.
